“Being able to measure, record and analyse pupil fitness data in order to provide meaningful feedback to pupils in an easy to interpret way has been a challenge for many school Physical Education departments. With the help of Next Learning, we were able to work together to map out a design to facilitate the recording of pupil data, analyse individual results, archive storage of historical data and display pupil achievement in a seamlessly aesthetic design. Next Learning took this model and created exactly that. Data input is simple and uncluttered. Analysis of results occurs at the push of a button. These results are displayed on a personalised certificate that each pupil can take home and keep. Data can be archived and stored for future comparisons giving the power to look at the longitudinal effectiveness of our teaching programmes. To be able to encapsulate the many requirements that were initially identified into one simple and effective tool is invaluable. It will free time for staff, empower pupils with specific knowledge on areas of strength and weakness, how their fitness has progressed over their schooling and how they compare against their peers. Next Learning have been outstanding and I would thoroughly recommend them as a point of contact for all educational based computing solutions.”
